Phelps to be on Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes boxes

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (AP)—Move over Tony the Tiger, here comes Olympic champion Michael Phelps.

The record-setting swimmer will soon be appearing on boxes of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes.

Kellogg Co. made the announcement Tuesday. The winner of eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics will be featured on Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes boxes expected to be in stores by mid-September.

Battle Creek-based Kellogg says the images of Phelps that will be used will highlight some of the most memorable moments of the games.

The 23-year-old Phelps is a Baltimore native who has lived and trained in Ann Arbor in recent years as part of the University of Michigan-linked Club Wolverine.

He's my hero.

And he's on the SI cover...again.

Thanks for the info!

Phelps should be on Wheaties Boxes



Let Tony the Tiger continue to be on Frosted Flakes Boxes

Oh, I saw him on a Rice Krispy treat box the other day, I wanted to get it. :haha:

I still say he should be on a Wheaties Box

Quite frankly I'd like this Wheaties box better


made by me :]

Nice job!

So Phelps really is not on a Wheaties Box?


That Sucks!


I think Spitz was on one


I guess the Wheaties people don't think he is worthy?

I should boycott Wheaties


But I haven't had a bowl in a long time

I don't know if he is or not, I just found a picture of it online. But I was bored so I made a Michael Hollimon one.
